In the twilight afterglow of a summer brimming with festival appearances across Ireland, up-and-coming pop artist, FYA FOX, has dropped a crisp new single, ‘Duvet Day’, that is bound to keep the autumn fire lit.

Esmae, whose previous work has already established her one of the UK’s most promising artists currently blasting through the pop stratosphere, has teamed up with musical compatriot and hard-hitting grime rapper, Onika J, on their latest single ‘Fire’ — a daring stylistic divergence that pays off.

PÄRADOX CÄSTLES Explores Love-Unleashed with New Singles ‘Jump Off the Edge’ and ‘In My Head'

Hunter S. Thompson once famously wrote:

“The Edge… There is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.

PÄRADOX CÄSTLES’ 2024 single, ‘Jump off the Edge’, explores the very essence of Thompson's conundrum; a tight-rope tap dance on the Do I? Don’t I? edge of love; an angsty meditation on the precipice of The Unknown.

‘In My Corner’ acts as a multilayered, multicultural, melodic canvas of sorts – featuring elements of Kether’s own Congolese roots, featured artist K.O.G’s mesmerizing Ghanian vocals, and spiced with dashes of Caribbean
